Quickbuild Kit Delivery

Delivery

It's been 5 months and about a week since I ordered my Quickbuilds kits and today they arrived via ABF.  Vans had called me 3 weeks ago and gave me some shipping options. I gave Tony Partain a call but he was booked for the next month and a half so went with the crate and freight method.  Took Vans a bit to get them crated, I think they had some people out for the holiday so it didn't get shipped out till the end of the month and took about a week to get to me.


The three crates combined came in at around 1,600 lbs, with the largest of being 1,300 lbs by itself.  After visually inspecting each crate for any damage they were unloaded and moved into the airplane factory.


ABF got them right next to my garage.  I was a bit impatient took a peak....

Inventory

As with the empennage I'm not tracking my inventory and unpacking time and organization time.  It was completed in less than 4 hours but my neighbor Jason was helping me pop open crates and move parts, while my wife was marking off items on the inventory pick sheets.  Here are some pictures of the unboxing.





Once everything was unpacked and accounted for I tried to determine the best way to organize everything.  There were a lot more parts than I had anticipated, a lot of hardware and plenty of tubing and metal pieces.  I had to spill over into the 3rd car slot but once I can get going on the project I hope to consolidate it a bit.

Ready to get started!
